According to the instruction sheet, one of the decals schemes provided is for Russia, Summer 1943, (No.25, the one in the box art) which I reckon is close enough for this GB (there is not a lot of English in these particular instructions).
I will have to source a pilot and gunner figure as I will be doing this one wheels up as always for me.
cheers

I like the look of that kit - not a lot of parts.
Is it accurate?

Wouldn't be a complete Kursk GB without one of these featuring. Looking at the parts count, this could be a quickie Al

I haven't got a clue mate. I'm a kit builder rather than a scale modeller. If something looks really off then I'll correct it, but I've never had any scale plans to compare parts to or anything.Old_Tonto wrote:Is it accurate?

For the most part. It is one of the early IL-2 varients, without the 15 degrees of wing sweep. Hence appropriate for Kursk.
A bit short on detail, but not bad in terms of shape.
